Just another quick product hacked together. Twitter launched their new 280 character limit to select users last night. By messing with some front-end settings this plugin will allow you to post up to 280 characters. The extension doesn't save any data and is literally 5 lines of JS. As it all runs on the front-end, Twitter updates make break this at anytime. Other downsides: I have yet to fix the counter (so it's stuck at 140) and it's only on Chrome Desktop as an extension at present Update: As of 2300UTC last night the plugin will no longer work on Twitter. This plugin here: https://chrome.google.com/websto... will still work on Tweetdeck.

@td_evans This is marvellous! I feel so special, like I'm a part of the "small group" that twitter exclusively selected. Straight to abusing it of course 🤣

@td_evans Did twitter plug the hole already? Seems like it's not working for me now. Glad I got to get that one tweet out to abuse my power: https://twitter.com/irishpolyglo... Edit: Never mind. Removing the plugin and reinstalling it did the trick for me. All good!

@irishpolyglot I pushed an update around that time, so if this did happen to anyone else - just remove and reinstall and it should work (for the time being).

@rrhoover Not sure if I should be annoyed that the product we spent 2 weeks building (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) is going to be outranked by this half-hour build!
